I've had to simulate jitter recently to reproduce a memory spike in a go app using traffic control (tc). have you observed how your app works under jittery network?

The ironic thing is that the latter taxi driver I mentioned was actually Bangladeshi-Singaporean (I believe ~9% of Singaporeans are of Indian descent). Reading the book Banker to the Poor by Muhammad Yunus really opened my eyes to the instability and poverty in Bangladesh.
I remember when I was younger there was a TV series showing the differences between how things are done in Singapore and my home country. The show showed how efficient, clean, organized, fair Singapore is. An example, how they prevent traffic jams by providing licenses to roads which forced people to find and organize ride shares. Fast forward to a few years ago, I had the privilege to fly there for a few days on vacation. I got into 2 taxis there. One of them explained how corrupt the country was by the banking industry and the other, more memorable one, was a guy in his 70s that still had to work long houes while his wife was on her death bed at home. He called her while I was in the taxi, I saw the conversation and burst out crying myself. I ended up tipping him 100 USD.

How would I do something like that? I know that docker socket is set up in /var/run/docker.socket. but how do I expose the socket to connections from the bridged network?

Ask HN: Use Docker Engine from VM

I have a Mac host machine that has a Docker daemon running on it. I have multipass installed on the host machine which I use to create Ubuntu VMs. The VMs are created in a bridged network. I was able to set up ssh both ways so I can access the VMs from my host and vice versa. Thing is, my VM has very limited resources and I need to use Docker within it. I was thinking to set up the Docker...
